Belt wont turn makes a loud noise when put on carpet setting

If this is a Dyson with a protected belt that can't be replaced then it will have to be sent out to Dyson or get a Dyson servicepersonnel to check it over - protected belt motors are difficult to fix by yourself. If its clicking all the time, then it ...

Loud rotating carpet brush noise: Just got my new Shark Navigator, but it makes a really loud noise when I turn it in the position to clean carpets. Is this normal?

I replaced the belt on my Dirt Devil Featherlite Bagless Vacuum and the brush roller rubs and makes a very loud noise when turned on. I have gone exactly by the manual instructions and made sure the belt and end caps were on correctly, but the bristles still rub the back and it makes a very loud noise. Without the brush roller in the vacuum, it sounds and runs normal. What could the problem be?

Had my dyson root cyclone for about 4 years now, and in the last year it's had a few problems. About 4 months ago it started to make this awful grinding sound when the roller bar was engaged and I took it to a repair shop and they said it was the roller bar itself. The shop replaced the part and it worked fine for a couple of months and then it started to make the grinding noise again. I tried the clutch reset suggestion (turn it on its side and turn the carpet/bare floor switch slowly back and

My Dyson DC25 makes a loud beeping noise when I turn it on. Sounds like the noise a big truck makes when it's backing up. What is the cause?

You must not have operated the machine for sometime now.....so try to oil the shaft of the motor and then it will work smoothly ...

Hi. My dyson dc14 wand works great then all of a sudden if something too big or even just the carpet it makes a sucking noise & the purple round bit in the actual Hoover makes a funny noise & then the suction isn't as great. If it turn it off then on again it comes back to normal! Help!!

Sounds like a blockage. I have a DC14 and I have never had this problem. You can easily remove the wand from the flexible hose and the flexible hose from the machine to check for a blockage. Don't allow paper or larger items to go into the machine, e ...

I have a Dyson DC17 that has started making a loud noise when on carpet when the brush is engaged but not on hard wood when the brush is not turning. I have remove all the material (hair,lint, etc.) wrapped around the brush itself, but it is still making the noise

The dial that you turn on hard floors or carpet,when in carpet slips by and then go past and makes a awful noise will not stay in carpet position to vacuum on carpets.

I cannot seem to replace the beater bar on my Dyson - it seems to spin OK, but when I turn the vacuum back on and turn it to the 'Carpet" position, it makes a noise that is unbelievable. What's up with that? The belt is intact.

Sounds like its the clutch to me if it sounds like a rapid clicking and you have a large knob on the side of the cleaner head it is going to be the clutch this is a hard part to changed without the know how to do it and it is very easy to break the o ...

Noise Hi... I was doing normal house work and had been using it on carpet... I put it on floor for my hardwood floors and picked up loose clean cat litter and went to put it back on carpet and it made a horrible noise like it was rubbing. cleaned the filter... cleaned the roller thingi ...checked the belt and it is still making that horrible noise. It does not make the noise when I have it on floor but as soon as I put it on carpet it screams at me. Help! Please and thanks Linda

Hi Linda,\015\012Sounds like clutch problems, try to move the lever for carpet/floor back and forth a few times maybe it will free up. If it still makes the grinding noise, the clutch assembly will have to be replaced. Let me know, i can even ...

Bissel powerforce powerbrush carpet cleaner is making a loud noise

The vacuum is making a noise like something is stuck when it is in the carpet position but not when in the floor position. I can't find anything that is stuck in the areas that I can see. I have cleaned the brush but it does not seem to want to turn. Does this machine need to be oiled so the roller will turn? Is there a way to check inside the motor? Do you think that because the brush won't turn that is making the noise? Do you know of any repair shops in the Lake Havasu City, Arizona area?

As far as the roller brush goes, yes, it does need to be cleaned. Follow the directions to remove it and clean as best you can of all debris. On both ends of the roller brush there will be two "holders" of sort that connect the brush to the frame o ...

Burning smell loud grinding noise when tilted

It's making a very loud noise when running. I have a Bissell Quicksteamer series 2080. When I was using it yesterday it was making a light squealing noise then it turned into a loud racket. I shut it off and and cleaned the brush (lots of dog hair on it) But the racket continued.
